Dedicated to the Pursuit of Warmwater Fish in Georgia's Rivers and
Streams

GEORGIA RIVER
DESCRIPTIONS

Georgia contains an estimated 20,000 miles of
rivers and streams, and the majority of these carry fresh water and provide
habitat for warm-water fish (in a nutshell, warm-water species are anything
other than trout and salmon). A quick glance at the US Geological Survey map on
my wall shows at least 70 rivers and streams in Georgia that provide
float-fishing opportunities. As much as we'd probably want to, I doubt any of us
will be able to fish them all.

We can,
however, fish the rivers and streams that are nearby, and there is not anyone in
Georgia that lives more than half an hour from a quality warm-water river or
stream. Listed below are some rivers and streams in northern and middle Georgia
that Georgia River Fishing knows pretty well. Click on the body of water that
interests you to get a thumbnail sketch of that river: location, types of fish
you can expect, boating suggestions, and any major hazards of which you may not
be aware (dams, big rapids, etc.). Be sure to read
"Planning a Float
Trip" on our Articles section for information on finding access points
and other details. The rivers and streams we have profiled so far
are to the left. Click on the one that interests you.
